Easy Come, Easy Go for Van Den Belt
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Shortly after winning a big pot, Lucas van den Belt was involved in another huge one.
On a completed board of 7♥10♠2♥4♥K♠, Ole Schemion had checked from the big blind to Van den Belt under the gun. Van den Belt fired a pot-sized bet of 361,000, sending Schemion in the tank.
Eventually, the German poker legend called. Van den Belt tapped the table as he turned over A♥K♦J♦8♣ for a bluff. Schemion showed 10♥9♥5♦2♦ for a flush, and soared to a seven-figure stack as a result.
Van den Belt was left with less than 100,000, and he was eliminated shortly after.
